LEMON POPPY SEED BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, sugar, ground almonds, baking powder and baking soda.
• Combine the lemon peel, poppy seeds, egg, egg whites and lemon extract. Add the dry mixture and mix well. Form the dough into 2 logs.
• Place logs onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Bake slices another 8 to 10 minutes until dry. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

ORANGE HAZELNUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. In a large bowl, combine the nuts, flour and baking powder.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and orange rind. Stir this into the flour mixture, forming a stiff dough.
• Shape the dough into 2 logs, each about 1" in diameter.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet (I do use parchment paper-personal preference) and brush the tops with the egg white.
• Bake @ 350* for 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then slice diagonally into 1/2" slices. Place slices on baking sheet.
• Lower oven temperature to 300* and bake the cookies for 25 more minutes, until crisp and golden.

CANDIED GINGER, LEMON AND POPPY SEED BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 Degrees F.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set this aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla and the finely chopped crystallized ginger.
• In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and the salt.
• With a wooden spoon stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide into 2 equal portions.
• Dust your hands with flour and roll each half into a 12 inch log and transfer the logs onto the prepared baking sheet while spacing the logs 2 inches apart.
• Press down on the logs to flatten just a little bit.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until light golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the logs to a cutting board.
• Using a well sharpened knife, slice the logs at a diagonal into about 1 inch slices.
• Return the sliced biscotti to the cookie sheet while placing them upright so they bake evenly on both sides.
• Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how dry you want them.
• Transfer the biscotti to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before glazing.
